Subject: [IFIP] Memorable events in 2003
Dear All,
1. John V. Atanasoff's 100th Anniversary
The Bulgarian GA representative to IFIP wrote to the Executive Director to
say that on 4 October 2003 Bulgaria will commemorate the 100th anniversary
of the birth of John Atanasoff, the inventor of the electronic digital
computer. For his historic achievement Atanasoff is distinguished with the
most prestigious Bulgarian and US awards for Technology. A string of
activities is planned in Sofia and the Initiative Committee, chaired by
Acad. Blagovest Sendov, Deputy Chair of the Bulgarian Parliament and IFIP
Past President, will provide guidance for the planning of these events to
be held under the patronage of the President of Bulgaria. Atanasoff was an
American citizen of Bulgarian origin. A memorial will be inaugurated, a
street in Sofia will be named after him and the village to which his roots
are traced will be named after him. A three-day conference is planned with
addresses from representatives of Bulgarian and foreign organizations and
sessions dedicated to the history and development of computers. Prof.
Boyanov writes that "IFIP's assistance and participation in the
celebration, as a leading international organization in the field of the
information technologies, is of great importance" to the Initiative
Committee.
John Atanasoff was an invited speaker at the IFIP co-sponsored
International Conference "Children in the Information Age" 1995, Varna,
Bulgaria. You can check a biography at
http://ei.cs.vt.edu/~history/Atanasoff.html and also
http://ei.cs.vt.edu/~history/ for a collection of materials related to the
history of computing as collected and written by J.A.N. Lee, formerly WG
9.7 "History of Computing" Chair and currently IEEE CS rep. to IFIP.
2. John von Neumann's 100th Anniversary
2003 marks another great Anniversary - 100 years from the birth of another
John -- John von Neumann -- a "brilliant mathematician, synthesizer, and
promoter of the stored program concept, whose logical design of the IAS
became the prototype of most of its successors - the von Neumann
Architecture." For detailed information please refer to
http://ei.cs.vt.edu/~history/VonNeumann.html
The Hungarian full member society to IFIP proudly carries the name of John
von Neumann and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) honors him through the presentation of an annual award in his name,
the IEEE John von Neumann Medal, which is presented "for outstanding
achievements in computer-related science and technology."
The John von Neumann Computer Society will organize a series of initiatives
to commemorate the 100th anniversary since the birth of its Patron from 15
to 17 October 2003 in Budapest. An International conference is planned and
an IT STAR regular meeting is scheduled. In Hungary's annual report to GA
2001 [ http://www.ifip.or.at/minutes/ga2001/hungary.htm ], the Hungarian GA
representative, Dr. B. Domolki, writes "An important issue to be raised
towards IFIP is to secure the participation of IFIP in the international
celebration of the John von Neumann centenary in 2003.
3. WITFOR
The IFIP World Information Technology Forum (WITFOR) is planned for 27-29
August 2003 in Vilnius, Lithuania and will be organized by the Lithuanian
Government and the Lithuanian Computer Society. Late week, a meeting of the
IFIP Program Committee took place in Vilnius and PC members P. Bollerslev,
D. Khakhar, R. Roode and L. Strous met with the Lithuanian Prime Minister,
Algirdas Brazauskas who, as patron, will formally open the WITFOR
conference and address IFIP's General Assembly on 30 August 2003. IFIP is
assured that the Lithuanian Government will assist in all ways for a
successful conference.
Greetings,
The Delivery Co.

CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue Computer Networks (Elsevier) on "Wireless Sensor Networks"
Recent advances in digital electronics, embedded systems and wireless
communications are leading the way to a new class of distributed wireless
sensor networks. These networks have a wide range of potential applications,
including security and surveillance, control, actuation and maintenance of
complex systems, and fine-grain monitoring of indoor and outdoor
environments.
Sensor networks differ from conventional network systems in many aspects.
They usually involve a large number of spatially distributed,
energy-constrained, self-configuring and self-aware nodes. Furthermore, they
tend to be autonomous and require a high degree of cooperation and
adaptation to perform the desired coordinated tasks and networking
functionalities. As such, they bring about new challenges and design
considerations, which go much beyond conventional network systems.
This special issue of Computer Networks is intended to foster the
dissemination of high quality research in communication protocols, data
management and access techniques, and applications of wireless sensor
networks. We hope that the resulting issue will significantly advance our
understanding of this nascent area of research.
Only technical papers describing previously unpublished, original,
state-of-art research, and not currently under review by another conference
or journal, will be considered. We solicit papers covering a variety of
topics related to wireless sensor networks including, but not limited to:
- Novel applications of sensor networks for surveillance, fine-grain
instrumentation, and actuation
- New sensor network communication architectures
- Software platforms and tools for sensor network application development
- Energy-efficient media access, error control, and traffic management
- Energy-efficient systems services such as localization and time
synchronization
- Scalable, and energy-efficient, data-dissemination schemes
- Robust distributed algorithms for collaborative processing
- Mechanisms for authenticated, secure communication
- Modeling and performance evaluation of large-scale sensor network
algorithms
- Application specific network and systems services, including data-centric
routing, attribute-based addressing, and location management
Authors should follow the Computer Networks (Elsevier) manuscript format
described at http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/compnw. Prospective authors
should submit a PDF version of their complete manuscript according to the
following timetable to: sensornet(a)cs.itu.edu.tr
